I built my first model ship back in the late 1960s-early 1970s

That's about the same time I built my first sailing ship too ( Revell Spanish Gallion, 1974 I believe. )

I made a "GLORIOUS" mess of the rigging. But it floated, so I called it a sucsess .

( Then I blew it up...... also a sucsess !)

Anyway's , Welcome to FSM.

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard.

Sailing ships are #2 on my list of builds as you can tell from my avatar. See you around.

Hello and welcome aboard this thing we call the "forum". While ships are not my primary area of effort, I have recently jumped into the water to try a 1/350 WW2 ship for one of our group builds. I have built the Constitution and United States in large scale (Monogram/Revell) many years ago but only to mixed success.

I greatly admire those of you who can master the planking, rigging, or P.E. in scale to come up with some of the stuff i see here. I hope to see your good works soon...

Yes, mine was the Revell Yach America.  I added weight to it, so it also floated -- but I never blew it up, LOL!!!

Welcome to the forum!  I look forward to seeing your build!

I built some sailing ships when I was a kid, Revell classic kits, the Constitution (the smaller-scale kit), the Golden Hind, and the Mayflower.  I thoroughly enjoyed building those ships.  Today, I'd probably let rigging the ships drive me crazy.

Best regards,

Brad
